Basically, all Xiuzhenists will choose a Xiuzhenist sect to rely on in order to obtain a certain amount of cultivation resources and become a disciple of the sect.
However, Xiuzhenists who have just started to cultivate can only join some mediocre sects. These mediocre sects are collectively called 'grassroots sects'.
The head of a grassroots sect is at most in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment stage and is already considered the number one expert of the sect. The disciples of the sect are basically all in the Qi Drawing stage and the Qi Refining stage.
Once these disciples break through the Foundation Establishment stage, they can immediately become elders of the grassroots sect. They will have a certain amount of status and power and will also obtain more cultivation resources.
Above the grassroots sects are the 5th class sects. The head of a 5th class sect is already at the golden elixir stage. In terms of the number of experts and cultivation resources, the 5th class sects are far superior to the grassroots sects.
A 4th class sect is naturally led by a Yuanying stage expert. A sect of this level can already occupy a small spiritual mine and mine the spiritual stones inside as cultivation resources.
Further up are 3rd class sects like the Kongming Sect. They have a lot of Primordial Spirit stage experts as the main leadership group. These sects are basically built on spiritual mines. Compared to spiritual mines, there is a world of difference.
The spiritual stones in spiritual mines have been condensed over a long period of time. The speed of condensing is very slow. Once they are completely mined, they will completely lose their value. At this time, the 4th class sects have to find another spiritual mine.
However, spiritual mines are different. Spiritual mines have their heart. Just like a human heart can continuously provide blood, the heart of a spiritual mine can also continuously produce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The closer a spiritual mine is to the heart of the spiritual mine, the denser the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the more spiritual stones it produces. Almost all 3rd class sects and above are built on the heart of a spiritual mine.
Spiritual mines vary in size. The small ones may only be several li in size while the big ones may be nearly ten thousand li in size. It is said that the number one sect in the Cultivation Realm, the Feather Immortal Island, has a spiritual mine that is ten thousand li in size. Unfortunately, no one has ever seen it.
The Xiumoists and Xiuyaoists in the 《Detailed Explanations of the Cultivation Realms》 is also very detailed. Not only is there a description in words, there are also pictures for reference. Everything is clear at a glance.
In addition, there were also introductions and annotations for some dangerous places and sea areas. After Luo Ping finished reading, it was as if a new door had opened in his mind, and a new world appeared in his mind.
After carefully digesting it, these contents had been deeply engraved in his memory, and could not be erased. Ever since he had absorbed the Dragon Soul Power, his memory had also reached an abnormal level, and he could remember everything with a single glance.
Even though it was a thick book, "Detailed Explanation of the Realms of Cultivation", it was completely memorized by him. After that, Luo Ping picked up "The History of the Kongming Sect" and carefully browsed through it.
The Kongming Sect was founded more than a hundred thousand years ago and could be considered a relatively young sect. After all, some of the older sects had a history of at least several million years, if not tens of millions of years.
The founder of the Kongming Sect was True Monarch Kong Ming. At that time, he was also a peerless genius in cultivation. In a short 2000 years, he reached the Longevity Stage and was already the strongest expert in his sect.
After his strength increased, his original sect could no longer provide him with the resources to continue his cultivation. Therefore, he left the sect and began to search for his own opportunities.
For more than 200 years, True Monarch Kong Ming cultivated while searching. One day, when he approached a mountain peak, he immediately sensed a dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
In his ecstasy, True Monarch Kong Ming immediately landed on the mountain peak to investigate. Only then did he discover that there was a spiritual mine buried under the mountain peak. Moreover, it was not small. Therefore, he decided to stay here and cultivate.
In the blink of an eye, many years passed. At this time, True Monarch Kong Ming had already reached the late stage of the Longevity Stage. Suddenly, he had the idea of founding a sect and planned to pass down his legacy.
Thus, the Kongming Sect was born. The mountain peak with the spiritual mine was the current main peak, Kongming Peak. If everything developed smoothly, the Kongming Sect might even become a first-class sect.
However, the direction of events was often not something that could be controlled by human strength. Even though cultivators walked the path of defying the heavens, those who could truly defy the heavens and succeed were few and far between.
A thousand years later, when True Monarch Kong Ming's cultivation broke through to the late stage of the Paradise Stage and underwent the Heavenly Tribulation, he still did not succeed. In the end, he died under the Heavenly Tribulation and his soul scattered.
Fortunately, after more than a thousand years of development, the Kongming Sect had accepted many disciples. Among them, there was no lack of geniuses. Several disciples of the Golden Elixir stage emerged. There was even a late stage Golden Elixir.
Unsurprisingly, the late stage Golden Elixir disciple became the second Sect Master and could be considered a fifth-class sect. Under the control of the second Sect Master, the Kongming Sect repelled many sects that wanted to destroy them.
Gradually, he stood out and attracted the attention of the fourth-class sects. Thus, he was supported to become the leader of the sects under their jurisdiction. Finally, he had a backer.
Later, after tens of thousands of years of development, the Kongming Sect finally squeezed into the ranks of third-class sects. It had continued until today. Now, the number of experts in the sect could be said to be unprecedentedly large.
However, it was still not enough to be promoted to a second-class sect. It was estimated that there might be hope if it slowly developed for hundreds of thousands of years. However, would it really be like this? Luo Ping's arrival might bring about a different change to the Kongming Sect.
"I really didn't expect that a cultivation genius like the founder would not be able to pass the Heavenly Tribulation in the end. It seems that the path of cultivation is really difficult. If you want to succeed in defying the Heavens, you not only need talent in cultivation, you also need luck and strength!"
After reading the 《History of the Kongming Sect》, Luo Ping was deeply moved by the fact that True Monarch Kong Ming did not succeed in passing the Heavenly Tribulation and turned into ashes.
The Heavenly Tribulation could be said to be a cultivator's nightmare. Every cultivator who reached the late stage of the Paradise Stage would face the Heavenly Tribulation without exception.
The Heavenly Tribulation was the biggest test for a cultivator. It was also a punishment for a cultivator who went against the Heavens. No one knew when the Heavenly Tribulation appeared. They only knew that it had always existed in the history of the Cultivation Domain.
Once a cultivator passed the Heavenly Tribulation, they could become a Great Ascension Stage expert and stand at the peak of the Cultivation Domain. If they were unable to pass the Heavenly Tribulation, they would lose their physical body and become a loose immortal. In the worst case, their soul would scatter and turn into ashes, just like True Monarch Kong Ming.
Therefore, even if one's cultivation had reached the late stage of the Paradise Stage and was already an existence that looked down on everything, no cultivator could guarantee that they would be able to pass the Heavenly Tribulation smoothly.
After Luo Ping sighed with emotion, he shook his head and could not help but chuckle. He felt that he was thinking too much.
Right now, he was only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage. There was still a long way to go before he reached the late stage of the Paradise Stage. It was really too early to think about the Heavenly Tribulation.
"It's better to cultivate seriously. The Heavenly Tribulation is too far away for me. If I were to die halfway, then what's the point of talking about passing the Heavenly Tribulation? Only with enough strength can I walk further and more steadily."
Luo Ping secretly encouraged himself and closed the two erotic books. Luo Ping looked outside the door and found that the sky had already turned gray. He was so engrossed in reading that several hours had passed unknowingly. Now it was already night.
Walking out of the room, Luo Ping came to an open space in front of a row of rooms. He looked at the distant mountain peak and fell into deep thought. No one knew what he was thinking about.
"Stinking brat, what are you thinking about? You didn't even notice when Master came. If this was a battle, it would be fatal. "
A voice entered Luo Ping's ears, waking him up from his contemplation. Looking at Xiao Yan who was already standing beside him, Luo Ping faintly smiled.
"Old Master, do you really think your disciple is so stupid? How could I make such a low-level mistake in a battle? Isn't it because this place is inside the sect and there are layers of formations protecting it? That's why your disciple can be so relaxed and think about these things. "
"Haha, Master knows what you mean. But you have to remember that there is no place that is absolutely safe in the Cultivation Domain. You have to stay awake at all times. Otherwise, you will only let those with bad intentions seize the opportunity."
"Even inside the sect, there is no guarantee that you will be safe. Maybe there are old monsters with profound cultivation hidden. This kind of thing has happened before …"
Xiao Yan's words completely shocked Luo Ping. Seeing how confident he was, could it be that this kind of thing had happened in the Kongming Sect before? There were experts hiding inside?
"Master, could it be that this kind of thing has happened in our sect?" Luo Ping asked.
Xiao Yan didn't seem to want to talk about the past. He changed the topic and asked about Luo Ping. "Ai … It's all in the past. Let's not talk about it. Oh right, what were you thinking about just now? You were so engrossed in your thoughts."
"Your disciple was just thinking about his future cultivation situation. Should I stay on the mountain and cultivate? Or should I go to the Mission Union and accept some missions to hone my combat experience and exchange them for contribution points." Luo Ping said.
"So it's about this matter. It seems that you have already understood the situation of the sect. Then I won't say much. Although you are my disciple, I don't have the extra authority to help you fight for cultivation resources. I can only guide you in cultivation."
"What's more, in an environment like the Cultivation Domain, if you rely too much on the protection of external forces, it will not be good for your growth. Everything needs to be fought for step by step. Only in this way can you become more powerful."
"What you should do is completely up to you. Just remember to ensure your own safety. Do everything according to your ability. Don't let your emotions affect your decisions. Master also has some things to deal with recently. After dealing with them, I will continue to wander. If there are any masters, you can inform Master through the Sound Transmitting Charm."
Xiao Yan's words revealed his guidance and concern for Luo Ping. This made Luo Ping feel that this crazy old man Master was a very good person.
After taking out the Sound Transmitting Charm and giving it to Luo Ping, Xiao Yan handed over two cultivation methods to Luo Ping. Luo Ping looked at them. They were the "Kongming Fist" and the "Kongming Twelve Swords" respectively.
"This set of fist and sword are the basic cultivation methods that our sect's disciples need to learn. But don't underestimate their power. As long as you can cultivate them to the point of perfection, even the basic cultivation methods can kill people in an instant."
"These two cultivation methods were created by our sect's founder. They have been passed down for more than 100,000 years. After being supplemented and perfected by successive Sect Masters, they have become very exquisite. You must practice them seriously." Xiao Yan exhorted.
